Relationships is
this months
topic.

Friendship is the
hardest thing in the
world to explain. It's
not something you
learn in school. But if
you haven't learned
the meaning of
friendship, you really
haven't learned
anything.
- Muhammad Ali

You can make more
friends in two months
by becoming
interested in other
people, than you can
in two years by trying
to get other people
interested in you.
Dale Carnegie

It is not a lack of love,
but a lack of friendship
that makes unhappy
marriages.
Friedrich Nietzsche

The truth is, everyone
is going to hurt you.
You just got to find the
ones worth suffering
for.
Bob Marley

Self-sacrificing love
desires to meet the
needs of ones spouse
more than ones own
needs.
- Anonymous

RELATIONSHIPS
Modern life is a lot less conducive to friendships and neighborliness than it used to be.
The average American moves every five years. People drive straight into their garages,
hire lawn services, hang out in their backyards instead of their front porches. These days,
neighbors dont even know each others names.

The surprising thing is that all it takes to enhance your relationship with friends and
neighbors is respect for their feelings, concern for their property, and a helping hand
when its needed. Heres how to nurture your relationships with two types of vitally
important people in your life friends & neighbors.

1. Strike up a conversation over the fence or on the sidewalk.
2. Extend yourself to the new family down the block.
3. Be considerate, especially of elderly neighbors.
4. Invite your neighbors to your next bash or throw one in their honor.
5. On your computer at home or at work, make call friends a standing appointment.
6. Make time for friendships.
7. Remember: A true friend doesnt flee when changes occur.
8. Make sure you arent being a burden to a friend.
9. Sweat the small stuff. Its the little things that count sweat the details.
10. Be a good listener. To be a better listener, follow this advice:
- Maintain eye contact. Offer nods and murmurs that indicate you understand his/her
point of view.
- Dont finish your friends sentences. If you catch yourself planning your response
while your friend is still talking, gently remind yourself to focus on him/her.
- Minimize distractions dont type, open mail, or watch television while youre on
the phone with your friend. Your friend will undoubtedly hear your disinterest in your
responses.
- Be careful with advice. Assume your friend wants to vent, not necessarily ask for a
plan of action.
11. Be in his/her corner if he/shes not there to defend herself.

RELATI ONSHI PS Conversation Plan
1. (5-10 minutes) What qualities do you value most in a friend and why?

2. (5-10 minutes) (Read Chalk Talk and ask) How do you make friends when you PCS to
a new area?

3. (5 minutes) How do you stay in touch and connected with the people who mean the
most to you?

4. (10-15 minutes) What are the qualities of good and healthy romantic relationships?

5. (10-15 minutes) What can you do to include people who are new or may not be
good at making friends?

6. (10 minutes) As a sensor, how can you detect and help friends or coworkers who
may be having relationship problems?
